Hello families,
This week we began our first math project called the "Shopping Spree Project". After learning about rounding and practicing our skills in a variety of ways, students took to grocery store flyers and were tasked with spending as close to $100 as they could. This project required organization, using subtotals, rounding to the nearest dollar, as well as ensuring one does not go over their budget. Montessori materials such as the base ten blocks, bead bars, bead frames, and stamp game were great in supporting this task. Next week once students feel like they are done, they will need to cross check their work using a success criteria checklist.
On Wednesday we took part in Pink Shirt Day by spreading kindness, and discussing ways we can show kindness to strangers, friends, adults, and peers. We ended the day with a sharing circle.
